2nd law of motion, if you hit a baseball with a bat it will
• hurt your hand from the reaction force
O accelerate according to the applied force
• fly in a straight line
unless an outside force changes its
course
• fall to the ground because of
gravitational pull

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

m - Baseball mass

F - Force applied from the side of the bat to the baseball

_________________________

a - ?

2 Newton's law:

a = F / m

Correct answer:

Accelerate according to the applied force

Answer 2

Accelerate according to the applied force.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Newton's second law of motion, a force applied on a body produces acceleration in its own direction. Therefore, if you hit a baseball with a bat it will accelerate according to the applied force.
